Two WHS Students to Speak at Costa Rica Summit

Westborough High School students Riley Taylor and Jessica Huibregtse will address 500 students from the United States in Canada during a special summit in Costa Rica that starts this Sunday, WHS business teacher Darrell Potosnak said today.

Taylor and Huibregtse will give their one-minute reflection after former Vice President Al Gore gives his keynote speech at the Global Student Leaders Summit: Addressing Environmental Sustainability, which runs from April 14 to April 22 in Costa Rica, Potosnak said.

The two Westborough High students will present Gore with gifts from EF Tours after a question and answer session, she said.

"Their names along with Westborough High School will be on stage for all to see where these two outstanding students are from!" Potosnak said.

Thirteen Westborough High students will attend the summit, accompanied by Potosnak and computer science teacher Diane Rodriguez. Education First developed the summit.
